IMPROVED nouez-mv'sanna:

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, JOHN H. 1mm and Jaoon E. SMITH, of Roanoke, in the county of Huntingdon and State of Indiana, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Dough-Kneaders and Butter- Workers; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the con- I struction and operation of the same, reference being,

bad to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawing is an end view of my invcntion;

a central vertical longitudinal section;

Figure 2 is and I Figure 3 is a bottom view thereof.

Our invention relates to means for kneading dough and working butter, and" consists in a novel arrangement of devices intended to serve-efficiently in either capacity.- To this end,we construct a quadrangular box, as shown on'the drawing-and arrange therein the devices following; that is to say' r The letter A represents a revolving shalt, arranged upon suitable hearings in the sides of the box, and having a crank, 13, or its equivalent, by which it. is actuated. I

The letters 0 represent a series of eccentrics ar ranged upon this shaltA, in the manner shown on fig. 2, each alternate cam being so adjusted that its eccentric part shall extend in a direction from the shaft opposite its neighbor, and thereby secure a reciprocating motion for the heaters, hereinafter mentioned. The letters D represent our heaters, constructed in 'the formshown on fig. 2, and pivoted at their rear ends, respectively, to the adjustable sliding bar H, described hereafter in this specification.

These heaters, respectively, have a base-bar, a,

which is pivoted to the bar H, uprights c, top-piece d,

and pestle h.

The space between the top and bottom bars corresponds to the diameterof the eccentrics, and between which said bars such eccentrics revolve.

For the purpose of securing the bar or top piece d in place upon the cam, we make a groove in the'un- ,der side thereof, adapted to'the periphery of the camin size and shape, and arrange the machinery so that K represents a roller afiixed in the side-posts of the rear end of the box, around which roller is passed the lifting-cords u, in the manner shown.

These cords a are attached at their lower ends, respectively, to the bar H, while their upper ends are made fast to a revolving pin or shaft at c,

To lift the bar H in its slots, or to lower it therein, we rotate the pin 2:, by a crank or other suitable device. The object inraising or lowering said bar is to adjust the position of the heaters at the operators 'will.

0 :is a drum or pulley affixed to the shaft A, and

P is a similar drum or pulley, affixed to the shaft R, hereinafter mentioned.

A cord or belt, g, connects these two pulleys, and

thereby actuates the shaft It.

The shaft R has its hearings .in the bottom of the box, as shown on fig. 3, and has a pinion, y, on its inner end that meshes with and actuatesthe ratchet.

w, as represented. I

M is a circular platform, pivotedat its center to the bar N, thatis attached to the bottom of the box.

I .Said platform or disk is provided on its upper sur-fl face with pins or spurs, z, and on its lower-surface with the circular ratchet w; By means of the pinion {y and the ratchet w this platfor'nr is made to rotate whenever the machinery is in motion.

The letter T represents a bowl,- constructed with small perforations in its bottom, 'adapted-tofit upon the pins z, and therebyto be' made to rotate with the platform M, and

The letter G is a spring, arranged to aid in keepingthe bowl T in place.

To operate our device, we place the dough-or butter, as the case may be,-in the bowl, and turnthe crank t0 the shaft A. It willreadily be perceived that, by the rotation of shaft A, the heaters will be made to perform their work with certainty and dispatch, while, at the same time, the shaft It will be forced to carry the. platform and its bowl around and around, and thereby aid eificiently in bringing the contents of the bowl under the strokes of the heaters.

We claim as our invention- The heaters D a, adjustable bar H, and earns O, in'

combination with the shaft R, pinion 3 disk M, bowl T, and spring G, when constructed and'arranged to operate in the manner and for the purposes herein witnesses. I
